Three Common Types of Aneurysms Are

Question

Three common types of aneurysms are:
A) Abdominal, thoracic, and aortic.
B) Abdominal, aortic, and peripheral.
C) Abdominal, thoracic, and peripheral.
D) Thoracic, pulmonary, and peripheral.

Accepted Answer

Aneurysms can occur in any part of the body, but the most common types are abdominal, thoracic, and peripheral. The aorta is actually in both the abdominal and thoracic regions, but most commonly, the term "aortic aneurysm" refers to the abdominal aorta. Therefore, while options A and B are partially correct, option C is the most accurate and inclusive answer. Option D is incorrect as pulmonary aneurysms are rare.
